Breakwater Reconstruction at Finlay Point Small Craft Harbour, Inverness County, NS

The Small Craft Harbours Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada proposes to undertake a breakwater reconstruction project at Finlay Point Harbour, located near Mabou in Inverness County, Nova Scotia.  The breakwater reconstruction will consist of the use of heavy equipment such as excavators and haul trucks working from the breakwater as it is being constructed.

The breakwater will be constructed following a sequence of activities including the removal of the existing armour stone which will be salvaged to incorporate in the new design followed by the installation of filter stone and topped with armour stone.  The proposed reconstructed breakwater will have a crest width of 4 meters with a new crest elevation of +5.5 meters.  Depending on the selected construction strategy, this may involve working from a barge to build it up to high water, complete the nose then work back to shore or it may involve working out from the shore without the use of a barge.
